Watching Mermaids (1990) for the first time, and I hate to say that I understand Charlotte’s obsession with nuns because I’m obsessed with the Sister Act movies

Deleted the app because I wasn’t getting on it (I’m so sorry but I still have more fun on Twitter), but I’m trying this again to see what happens

DEI is not an adjective. Using it like an adjective makes it lose its meaning (think how people don’t even know what “woke,” an adjective, really means anymore). 3/3

People are women. People are immigrants. People are Black. People are queer. People are specific things, and I find it dangerous to water down people’s identities at a time like this when we gotta call it like it is. White supremacy is running this country. 2/3

Coming back on here to say that I’m tired of seeing folks say people are DEI. For example, I’ve seen women say things like “women are DEI, they’re trying to get rid of us.” And I get your intention, but people are not DEI. DEI is not an adjective. 1/3

A good artist will put on a good show in a stadium for everyone to enjoy. I’m not there to be as close to someone as possible. I’m there to experience live music with others.

I’m convinced TikTok or something online changed people’s views on concerts because why am I seeing people complain they got nosebleeds for Beyoncé??? I’ve only seen her in nosebleeds and have had the time of my life up there!

I am so grateful I’m from a culture where rice is a big part of our cuisine. Like… imagine not wanting to eat rice every day??? Couldn’t be me!!!

Chappell Roan responds to former-record label executive Jeff Rabhan’s article criticizing her GRAMMYs speech:

“@/jeffrabhan wanna match me $25k to donate to struggling artists ? My publicist is @/biz3publicity let’s talk.”

As someone who studied fandom, has written about fandom, etc., one thing that annoys me is when regular people say “we don’t know something” when fans know their shit. Fans are scholars. Fans are historians. We know our stuff.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

So, now that I’ve slept, I’m ready to talk about how I started sobbing the moment they showed Liam Payne so hard that I didn’t even process how they showed a clip from an unreleased music video in his little moment during the in memoriam
